*Offer Deadline: Wednesday, 4/29/26 at 10 AM* Set on a half acre along the quiet curve of Birdshill Loop, this Roscoe Hemenway-designed Colonial offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, and beautifully established grounds. Originally designed by landscape architect Wallace Huntington, the setting feels park-like, with mature cedar, fir, birch, and magnolia trees, layered plantings, and thoughtfully composed outdoor spaces.Inside, classic architecture is paired with comfortable, livable spaces. The formal living and dining rooms provide inviting areas to gather, while a light-filled office offers a quiet place to work or retreat. The kitchen offers generous workspace and connects easily to the breakfast nook and family room for everyday living.Outdoor living is equally considered. A central courtyard features a grape arbor, herb garden, and decorative concrete, while brick patios, walkways, and a private backyard create multiple spaces to relax or entertain. An upper deck, accessed from the primary suite, overlooks the grounds.Additional features include a lower level with a spacious bonus room and half bath, whole-house water filtration, upgraded furnace air filtration, and earthquake anchoring. The property has been carefully maintained, including regular tree care and long-term stewardship of the landscape. Located in a peaceful, established neighborhood near Tryon Creek State Park, trails, with Lake Oswego schools, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property in one of Portland’s most sought-after areas.
